Store Attachments Safely; Transport Safely - Hitachi ZW180 Operator's Manual

STORE ATTACHMENTS SAFELY

• Stored attachments such as buckets, hydraulic hammers,
and blades can fall and cause serious injury or death.
• Securely store attachments and implements to prevent
falling. Keep children and bystanders away from storage
areas.

TRANSPORT SAFELY

• Take care the machine may turn over when loading or un-
loading the machine onto or off of a truck or trailer.
• Observe the related regulations and rules for safe trans-
portation.
• Select an appropriate truck or trailer for the machine to
be transported.
• Be sure to use a signal person.
• Always follow the following precautions for loading or un-
loading:
1. Select solid and level ground.
2. Always use a ramp or deck strong enough to support the
machine weight.
3. Use the low speed gear.
4. Never steer the machine while on the ramp. If the travel-
ing direction must be changed while the ramp, unload
the machine from the ramp, reposition the machine on
the ground, then try loading again.
5. After loading, install the lock bar to securely hold the ar-
ticulation mechanism.
6. Wedge the front and rear of tires. Securely hold the ma-
chine to the truck or trailer deck with wire ropes.
Be sure to further follow the details described in the TRANS-
PORTING section.
